Element Info Line
The Element info command allows you to change the length and orientation angle of any particular line. Select a line and choose > .
| The > command can only be executed for a single element. |
You can perform changes by making entries in the respective fields. These changes will be displayed roughly in the preview box at the upper right.
Length
You can enter the length of the line in this field. The value displayed corresponds to the length which you can verify in the printout.
| The dimensions displayed while you are drawing correspond to the unforeshortened values along the major axes. |
Angle
The angle determines the orientation of the line on the drawing sheet. It also specifies its inclination to the horizontal axis and is measured in a counter-clockwise direction.
If you have changed either the length or the angle of a line, you must also specify the points to be affected by the change.
Clicking the button next to the blue square or red square
moves the point shown in the same color on the line. Clicking the middle
button moves both end points by the same amounts.
Quitting the Dialog Box
You can confirm your entries by clicking OK. Clicking the Cancel button quits the dialog box without applying any changes you have made.
